Lyrics
- First you bring me joy
Then bring me sorrow
You’re just here today
And gone tomorrow
Why can’t I have you for my own
Why must I always be alone
Chorus
I “wanna” go where you go, do what you do
Love when you love, then I’ll be happy
I wanna sigh when you sigh, cry when you cry
Smile when you smile, then I’ll be happy
If you go north or south, if you go east or west
I’ll follow you sweetheart
And share your little love nest
I “wanna” go where you go, do what you do
Love when you love, then I’ll be happy
Chorus
I “wanna” go where you go (‘Twill be a treat to)
Do what you do (It will be sweet to)
Love when you love, then I’ll be happy
I “wanna” sigh when you sigh (If I could only)
Cry when you cry (You won’t be lonely)
Smile when you smile, then I’ll be happy
If you go north or south (I “wanna” go)
If you go east or west (You oughta know)
I’ll follow you sweetheart
And share your little love nest
I wanna go where you go (Why don’t you let me)
Do what you do (Come on and get me)
And we’ll make love, then I’ll be happy
- When you’re in my arms
My heart is singing
Seems to me I hear the church bells ringing
Eyes that are smiling when you’re near
Cry me to sleep when you’re not here
